S.M.A.S.H iRacing: East Coast Truck Series All-Star Field Locked for Friday Night

By S.M.A.S.H — April 22, 2026

The field is set.

The qualifying rounds are complete, the final spots have been decided, and the

S.M.A.S.H iRacing East Coast Truck Series All-Star Race is officially locked in for Friday night.

This is not a regular points race. This is a featured event built around a loaded field, a special format, and real money on the line for the drivers who can handle the pressure when it matters most.

With the roster finalized, the focus now shifts from qualifying your way in to proving you belong once the green flag drops.

SimSational TV Returns for the Broadcast

Friday night’s All-Star Race will be LIVE on SimSational TV, the official broadcast partner of S.M.A.S.H iRacing.

SimSational TV delivered a strong show on the last event, and their production, presentation, and overall coverage brought real value to the broadcast. Having them back for the East Coast Truck Series All-Star Race gives this event the kind of spotlight it deserves.

Event: S.M.A.S.H East Coast Truck Series All-Star Race

Cash on the Line

This year’s All-Star Race will pay out real money to the top three finishers:

1st Place — $100

That makes Friday night about more than just bragging rights. It adds another layer to a race that is already built to push drivers from the opening lap to the final sprint.

All-Star Race Format

All league rules remain in effect, but the event itself will run under a special format built to keep the pressure high from start to finish.

The race will be broken into three stages:

Stage One — 40 Laps

Stage Two — 40 Laps

Final Stage — 10-Lap Shootout

That means drivers will need to survive a total of 90 laps, then deliver under maximum pressure in a short final run for the money.

This format is designed to reward drivers who can manage the long game and still attack when everything is on the line.

Driver Briefing

The message to the field is simple:

You have earned your way here. Now prove you belong.

This is a high-stakes event, but the standard remains the same. All league rules still apply. Drivers are expected to keep it clean, keep it competitive, and put on the kind of show that matches the stage in front of them.

Final Word

The field is locked. The money is posted. The format is set.

Now it is time to race.

With SimSational TV carrying the event live and one of the strongest East Coast Truck Series fields of the season heading to Atlanta, Friday night has everything in place to be one of the biggest events on the S.M.A.S.H iRacing calendar.

This is the All-Star Race.

And now it is official.
